My wife and I are looking at a co-op with roof rights. The roof currently has a deck, which the sellers have disclosed is not up to code. Question: what are the chances that our lender will require us to remedy the situation before allowing us to close? What consideration should we take if we’re thinking about making an offer? And finally, how much does it cost to build a modest roof deck (maybe 200-300 square feet) to code?
